Henry stanberry, Attorney General OF the
United Stntcs in tho Administration OF An
drew johnson, was born In the city OF New
York in 1903 on tho Goth OF February. Ho
came to GAINESVILLE with his fathers family In
1914 He had had some educational advantages
IN the East, and after further preparation Mt
home was sent TO Washington College, Penn
sylvania Ho was graduated from that institu'
tuition In 1919.
Atthc age OF sixteen he commenced the study
o! law at Lancaster with Ebcnczcr Granger
and finished his legal reading in the oficc OF
Chayies c. Goddard. In 1921 he was admitted
90 the Bar Of the Supreme Court OF Ohio, then
on circuit In Gnllin County. He was urgcdby
Thomas Ewing TO commence the practice oil lnw
in Lancaster and ride the circuit with hlin' lho
circuit OF that time extended from the counties
of Washington nrd Gallo. Oh the Ohio river,
20 Delaware md Marion, and including those
adjoining the ones in tho direct line. Cases had
10 be tried IN those days upon pretty snort mo-
tice, ard the resources OF n lawyer who expect
cd to succeed had to be large and available. Mr.
Stanbury was well equipped and his rise was
rnpid. He was characterized by wonderful
mental nlcrtncss both in the Inc OF ATTACK anu
defense in tho trial OF cases.
When the ofice of AttorncyGeneral OF the
State of Ohio was created, in 1916, Mr.. Henry
Stnnhery was elected TO II for the nfss term oy
the General Assembly. The term was hVo
wears. He moved to Columbus IN 1916, ana
u s. Courts were located ut the State Capital,
and he had very large practice in them ana
in the Supreme Court OF Ohio. Those were inc
days, says Mr. Henry Noble, whose reminis'
ccnces OF the Franklin County bar are always
entertaining and accurate, when the lawyers OF
Ohio had the opportunity OF n large arena IN
which TO make their best Efforts, and thus be-
come known to the bar of the whole state.
Columbus was often full of lawyers, young ana
old who remained for weeks
In 1850 Henry Stanbery was electedn n dele
cate to the Convention that framed the present
constitution OF Ohio. 1t was first held In Co
lumbus and then removed TO Cincinnati. He
bore n conspicuous part in the debate, and
hclnp conservative man. was able to combat
the radical views of some OF the brilliant young
mcmbcSs. -.
Mr., Stanbcry removed TO Cincinnati in 1853
and continued the practice of his profession
there
In 1866 he was appointed Attorney General oil
the United States. When President johnson
disagreed with his party and impeachment pro-
ceednps were commenced Mr.. Stanbcry re-
signed from the Cabinet 10 become ono OF the
counsel for the President. His health was so
delicate Mt that time that most OF his argu-
ments were submitted in writing. After the
trial his name was sent TO the Senate, the Pres
ident having reappontod him Attorney General,
hut that body would not confirm him.
This experience finished his public career
He returned to Cincinnati, became the presi,
dent Of the Law Association there. He resided

Remembered the Bride.

One of the many anecdotes of Mr.
Beccher is given by Mr.. Louis A. Wcndt,
as follows: "Thc two departed chiefs,
the Rev. Henry Ward Bcccher and U. S.
Grant, were together at public dinner
given in Brooklyn not many years ago,
when Mr.. Bcecher suddenly looked at
his watch and remarked that rs the
time was rapidly nearing certain hour
he would have to ask the company to
pardon his early departure as he had
marriage ceremony to perform. Say
ing this Mr.. Beecher arose from the
table, and as he did so General Grant,
who had been sitting next to him, re-
moved rosebud from the lapel of his
coat and handing the flower to Mr..
Beecher, said: will you kindly hand
this to the bride, and give to her and
her future husband my best wishes?'
Mr.. Becchcr accepted and fulfilled the
trust, and the bride of that time still
has the faded flower. and treasures il
as precious souvenir. - Brooklyn

eermuda's Devil Cave.

On our way back we stopped for
awhile at what is called the Devils
Cave, and well it deserves tho name,
fora more weird, gloomy place 1t would
be hard to imagine, shut in by huge
stone wall and under lock and key. You
go down steep, stony steps until you
reach hole filled with remarkably clear
water, in which the most cruel-looking
fish are disporting themselves. You
throw them piece of bread, and as
their immense mouths open you con-
gratulate yourself 1t is simply bread
they are devouring, and that you have
not fallen in MS their prey by any mis-
chance. Separated from them are small
fish, called angel fish, of n beautiful
blue color, nnlike any we have ever
seen before. We have never seen them
in any aquarium, and are told that they
lose their color when taken from the
water. They did not appreciate the
bread that we tried TO make them eat,
so we devoted ourselves to the others,
and any thing is acceptable to them. A
poor dog once fell in and was immedi-
ately devoured by them.-BoSton 1rav-

The Margin of Profits.

From the fullest investigation which
/ have been able to make, ! have be-
como more and more convinced that
ten per cent. is the maximum margin
of profit on all production in this
country, and that even u less proportion
of the product of n normal year is all
that can be set aside for the mainten-
ance or increase of capital; conversely,
that more than ninety per cent. of each
wears product is consumed by those
who are engaged in its production, as
working people in the sense in which
that term is commonly used. OF the
ten per cent or less which is or may be
saved and added to capital, n very large
share will become the property OF those
who are themselves working people in
the strictcst sense--another large share
will bc saved by persons of moderate
means, while the share of the rich will
be but the lesser part of the whole sun
of profits This view is sustained by
the very small margin Of profit which
now sullices to draw capital into any
and all the principal arts which car
be analyzcd. - Edward 1ttinson, u
Century,
